Drydock A Level 44 is a late station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: upgrade Drydock A to level 44. It needs warp 1 to start and complete, the game lists a recommended level of 1, and there is no fighting. The reward is 12,375,000 Tritanium and twelve 1M Tritanium Tokens, and completing it unlocks Defense Technologies Level 44. It is a straightforward bonus for an upgrade that takes more than three months to build unboosted.
Drydock A Level 44 objectives
The story line restates the task. There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade to Drydock A Level 44.
No system, hostile or donation is involved. The mission completes when Drydock A finishes its level 44 upgrade.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The mission never leaves your station.
The listed recommended level of 1 does not reflect the real bar. Drydock A level 44 requires Operations 44, which is what decides when you can finish it.
Drydock A Level 44 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 12,375,000 |
| 1M Tritanium Token | 12 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next station mission, Defense Technologies Level 44.
What Drydock A level 44 costs
Current building data lists this upgrade and the one after it as follows:
| Level | Tritanium | Parsteel | Crystal | Build time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 205,875,000 | 14,932,800,000 | 6,500 4★ Common, 3,000 4★ Rare | 100 days 8 hours |
| 45 | 292,500,000 | 21,216,000,000 | 40,000 4★ Common, 5,000 4★ Rare | 129 days 13 hours |
Build times are unboosted, and each level requires the matching Operations level. The 3,000 4★ Rare Refined Crystal is the hardest line to fill; level 43 only asked for 1,200 of it.
What the upgrade gives the ship in Drydock A
Drydock bonuses apply to the ship assigned to that drydock. At level 44 the building data lists Repair Cost Efficiency at 145%, up from 140% at level 43. Repair Speed Bonus stays at 170%, the same as levels 42 and 43, and only rises to 200% at level 45. If repair speed is what you want, level 44 is a stepping stone to the level 45 jump.

Compared with Drydock A Level 43
The previous Drydock A mission, Drydock A Level 43, pays 9,375,000 Tritanium and nine tokens. Level 44 adds 3,000,000 Tritanium and three more tokens. The upgrade cost grows faster: level 44 needs 68,625,000 more Tritanium than level 43 did.
Tips
Start the 4★ Rare Refined Crystal early. It is the bottleneck here, and the level 45 upgrade after it asks for 5,000.
Put the Tritanium straight back into the drydock queue. The reward will not cover level 45 on its own, but it trims the gap.
Keep your most-used ship in Drydock A. Every repair cost reduction here applies to that ship alone. The drydock family is covered on the Drydocks page, and more missions are on the mission guide.
